Ordering colours in 18th and early 19th century Europe

The question of how to order colours reaches far back, but in the 18th century, particularly in its second half, we see a steeply increasing number of studies that indicates a broad and urgent inter- est in classifying colour. Quite diverse contributions from the sciences, arts, crafts and trade creat- ed a diverse field of colour order research in the 18th century. The workshop will explore, examine and discuss those efforts and hereby contribute to the history of colour in 18th and early 19th cen- tury Europe. Proposals from other epochs are welcome when focussing on or crossing substan- tially the 18th or early 19th centuries; for instance the revival of antique knowledge/ ideas. While focussing on Europe, the workshop also welcomes studies of other cultural regions. The work- shop will be opened by a keynote talk by Jose Luis Caivano (Buenos Aires).

According to the multidisciplinary historical approaches, we invite contributions from the history of arts, artisanry, economy, technology, science as well as scholars from restauration, cultural and material studies. Work in progress contributions are as welcome as finalized results. There might be detailed case studies, but also comparative, long-term and cross-sectional studies on the histo- ry of materials, objects, practices, theories, or ideas. Through all the bewildering variety of colour research of that period, the focus of the workshop will be on the attempts of ordering or even sys- tematizing colours. Topics might include, among others

·Colour samples, colour ordered objects, colour selections, colour collections, and colour atlases;

·Colour diagrams: illustrations, papertools;

·Colour codes, colour nomenclatures, colour references, and colour systems;

·Colour experiments;

·Early colour print and the trichromatic idea;

·Discussion about colour primaries;

·Natural history and colour;

·Mining, chemistry, and colour knowledge;
